At the very least, you'll want a few GB of RAM...Depending on your traffic, you may need more. A good, economical approach is to find a hosting company that will enable you to upgrade RAM as needed. So you can start on the low end and upgrade to more RAM later.

I have not included that feature in either the free or paid-for versions because it seems that most people do not want to store potentially copyrighted material on their web servers any longer than they have to. In the commercial version of the software, I have even included a separate script -- that is intended to be run regularly as a cron job -- that deletes mp3 files that are older than X seconds.

(Note: Log files and downloaded video files are deleted automatically after EVERY conversion.)

That said, in the past, I have programmed mp3 cache functionality as a custom enhancement to the software, on a per-client basis. If you are interested, I am available to program such a thing for you, but clearly I would have to charge you extra for the service.

[Note: You will notice that all the major YouTube-to-Mp3 sites can no longer convert the newest/latest Vevo videos. At least, this is what I have noticed! For example: http://www.youtube-mp3.org/#v=IDAqAgbM07g]

I don't know what YouTube is up to, but I vow to persevere and continue to look for a way around this issue!

My software still converts all other videos, but it appears Vevo (and its ilk) are getting special treatment from YouTube. Let's hope this is not the end for converting videos from these channels. Stay tuned, and please be patient, as I search for a solution.

Here is the preliminary fix for the latest Vevo video problem. The following code is meant to be a drop-in replacement for the YouTubeToMp3Converter.class.php file for the free version only. If this solution continues to work after further testing, then I will release a similar fix for the paid-for version of my software at that time.

Please let me know if this code works for you. I appreciate your help in testing this code.

[Note: The only code to change is in the existing SetFlvUrls() method and the new DecryptYouTubeCypher() method. (I'm assuming that you are using the most recent release of the free version!)]

DO NOT USE THE ZIP DISTRIBUTION LOCATED AT THE ABOVE LINKED PAGE. USE ONLY THE ZIP FILE ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST.

New in this release:

1) This fix addresses another problem with the conversion of Vevo videos.

Only YouTubeToMp3Converter.class.php was modified, and (since the last update) only code in the existing SetFlvUrls() method and the new DecryptYouTubeCypher() method was updated.

I will soon be updating the paid-for version of the app as well, and I will email an updated (free) copy to all those who have already purchased the script. (Updates will be sent to your Tradebit email addresses only.)

As always, please let me know if you have any questions/concerns regarding the above and/or the code.
